Re: Solar Power
Now I've not done any calculations but I suspect that large-scale solar power would also have its own associated problems.
I imagine covering every surface in solar panels of whatever type it's possible to use (black radiators/the real semi-conductor deal etc.), we'd be effectively changing the albedo of the planet which can't be a great idea.
*should so some sums but can't be arsed*
